No, they are not out of bizz.

They presented their engines ar Aerofrederichhafen

They have two 300hp engines, in airplane version and in
helicopter version
and they have two 200hp engines, airplane and helico

They are on the experimental market. Certified version are on the
back
burner for the time.
Also frozen is the JETA engines, waiting for funding.

With the limited funds they have, they struggle to survive and get
additional funding. It is their priority.

This info comes from a reliable source in Switzerland, who is one
of the
founders of Mistral.

Did you go to Aero this year?

Are they selling parts? Gear boxes? Exhaust parts? Intake manifolds?
Seems that is an excellent way of making money. Also the
customers are willing to test the parts for free.

Do you have an email address for them?

If there is no way to contact them... in effect... they are out
of biz.

There is a market in the US for the Mistral gear box constant speed prop version in particular.

Philippe , do you know if they are still getting subsidies from the Swiss government?
Having received that money are they not allowed to move the manufacturing out of Switzerland?

It would make economic sense to move the company to the US and the manufacturing to China like everybody else.

Who is in charge of the company now?
